Agree. Motorhome ownership will provide opportunity for a lot of enjoyment along with frustration. For example, in spite of the fact that I tend to over maintain my coach, we are nearly 2,000 miles from home staying in a small motel room with our two dogs since our coach is in the shop with an engine issue. Not sure when we will get it back.
So, it is essential to be prepared for trip interruptions and other inconveniences when you own one of these beasts.
With any luck the people that said that it was impossible for anyone to be stranded while their motor home was being repaired will now get a dose of reality.
When a new buyer was looking for the true cost of ownership, it was suggested that he budget money for just such an occasion where he has to abandon his coach and pay for not only the repairs, but full accommodations, and maybe travel expenses for his family, back home. There were several that said that this just would not happen and that every service facility will allow you to camp in your coach while it was being repaired. Those of us that travel know that being stranded MAY happen and that most repair facilities do not have facilities for you to stay in your coach during extended repairs. Sometimes stuff happens and you must find a way to pay for it.
